I discovered this grain-free apple cinnamon muffin recipe made with applesauce<\/a> out of desperation. (Isn\u2019t it so true that necessity is the mother of invention?)<\/p>\n On this particular morning, I realized I only had five eggs in the fridge \u2014 not even close to enough to feed us all. Especially when each kid could easily eat three each! I had coconut flour, homemade applesauce, and coconut oil on hand, so I mixed them and \u2026 voil\u00e0!<\/p>\n The kids requested them every day at breakfast for a week straight, and a yummy go-to (and also \u201cto-go\u201d) breakfast recipe was born!<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be real here\u2026 I haven\u2019t always been a great baker, which I guess makes sense, considering we don\u2019t often eat grains.<\/a> Still, being grain-free can mean a lot of scrambled eggs for breakfast, and we all have those days when only baked goods will do. Even now that my Hashimoto\u2019s is gone<\/a> and I eat some grains (and even gluten!), I still enjoy coconut flour baked goods.<\/p>\n It always feels great to get it right and hit on a recipe that makes both mom and kids happy. These remind me of apple pie, but in a muffin version.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t had coconut flour muffins before, know they\u2019re a little smaller and denser than your typical muffin. Still, they have that bready texture and aroma with apple flavor. They\u2019re full of protein and fiber, and they\u2019re gluten-free and grain-free. Not to mention all the great health benefits of coconut, since these muffins use both coconut flour and coconut oil.<\/p>\n These apple cinnamon muffins stay in regular rotation at our house and even kick off the breakfast section in my Wellness Mama Cookbook<\/a>. As with almost all of the recipes in my cookbook, this muffin recipe takes 30 minutes or less to make, uses real food ingredients, and doesn\u2019t generate a lot of dirty dishes to wash up afterward.<\/p>\n If you have to be careful and rotate recipes for allergy reasons or are just looking to get more variety at breakfast, check out the Real Plans<\/a> meal planning tool for more help.<\/p>\n I chose this applesauce and cinnamon combo out of convenience, but these muffins are incredibly versatile. I even discovered that with a few simple modifications, I could turn this recipe into coconut flour cinnamon apple pancakes<\/a>!<\/p>\n Using either the muffin or pancake recipe as a base, try these mix-ins to change things up:<\/p>\n Reduce the applesauce by \u00bc cup and add an overripe banana before blending<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stir in \u00bd cup toasted chopped nuts, like walnuts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mix in \u00bd cup fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add \u00bd cup chopped apples for extra texture<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder to make almost cupcake-like muffins<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Top with shredded coconut before baking for extra crunch<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \tBest Apple Cinnamon Muffins: A Break from the Norm<\/h2>\n
